Properly configured, you can do everything in Chinese that you need to do with this combination. Virtual PC is great, but it's always slow to run two operating systems simultaneously. Most Chinese software seems to be made for PC. I can't imagine that very many technical support organizations in colleges and universities could support non-English versions of operating systems. I certainly wouldn't try. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Laura Atkinson Technical Coordinator for Foreign Language Computing Duke University [log in to unmask] ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* --On Tuesday, October 21, 2003 5:01 PM -0400 LLTI-Editor <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > --- Forwarded Message from Betty Woerner <[log in to unmask]> --- > >> Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2003 13:52:36 -0700 (PDT) >> From: Betty Woerner <[log in to unmask]> >> To: LLTI-Editor <[log in to unmask]> >> cc: [log in to unmask] >> Subject: Chinese >> In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> >> References: <[log in to unmask]> > > Is there a consensus about whether Macs running Virtual PC or actual > Windows machinese are the best for Chinese applications?
